| MedicationAdministration | 0..* | MedicationAdministration | Describes the event of a patient consuming or otherwise being administered a medication. This may be as simple as swallowing a tablet or it may be a long running infusion. Related resources tie this event to the authorizing prescription, and the specific encounter between patient and health care practitioner. |
| MedicationAdministration.id | 0..1 | http://hl7.org/fhirpath/System.String | The logical id of the resource, as used in the URL for the resource. Once assigned, this value never changes. |

Though any implementer is allowed to define an extension, there is a set of requirements that SHALL be met as part of the definition of the extension.
